Irelia vs Neeko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Irelia controls the lane by using minion waves for Q resets to pressure Neeko and deny her safe farming.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Neeko from setting up her E root angles or using disguise effectively.

Trading pattern

Start trades after stacking passive and ensure Q resets are available to extend fights.
Punish Neeko immediately after she misses E or uses R to reduce her all-in threat.
Use E stun or R mark to lock Neeko for reliable Q follow-ups and resets.

Danger windows

Respect Neeko's E root when it passes through minions; avoid fighting during its cooldown.
Neeko's R creates a knock-up and shield; avoid committing when it is available.
Be cautious when lacking passive stacks or Q reset paths, as extended trades become riskier.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with Q and E to threaten stuns and force Neeko to play cautiously.
Avoid extended trades if Neeko's E is up since it roots and leads to burst.
Focus on stacking passive and creating Q reset paths through low-health minions early.

Power spikes

Level 2 with Q and E unlocks strong stun and mobility for early all-ins.
Level 6 R enhances engage and zone control, increasing kill pressure.
First completed fighter item boosts damage and sustain in trades.

Win conditions

Use minion wave control to create Q reset opportunities and force extended fights.
Capitalize on Neeko's missed E or R cooldowns to all-in with E stun and R mark.
Convert lane pressure into side-lane roams or objective control after winning trades.

Tip: For Irelia vs Neeko, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
